As recorded by LEE MORSE:

Love to some may mean diamond rings
Lovely jewels and fine clothes
I can't give you expensive things
But love means more than those

Though I've nothing but love to offer
There is nothing I couldn't do
Either right or wrong, I could get along
Loving you the way I do

I could diet on bread and water
Locked up in chains with my thoughts of you
Gosh, but love's a crime, but I'd serve my time
Loving you the way I do

Nothing in this world could divide us
The dark clouds hide us for a while
I could find the dullest day exciting
To go on fighting for your smile, Dear

Now, I've told you just how I'm feeling
If you're feeling the same way, too
Baby, now's the time, say you're glad that I'm
Loving you the way I do

(Instrumental Break)

I've nothing but love to offer
There is nothing I couldn't do
Either right or wrong, I could get along
Loving you the way I do

I could diet on bread and water
Locked up in chains with my thoughts of you
Gosh, but love's a crime, but I'd serve my time
Loving you the way I do

Nothing in this world could divide us
The dark clouds hide us for a while
I could find the dullest day exciting
To go on fighting for your smile, my Dear

Now, I've told you just how I'm feeling
And if you're feeling the same way, too
Baby, now's the time, say you're glad that I'm
Loving you the way I do
